Chapter 52 - Liza Snow
Stomping out of the warehouse, Rosa was furious. She nearly walked straight into Vaas and a group of pirates but she didn't care.
"Woah, hermana, easy. What's wrong?" Vaas asked, placing his hands on Rosa's shoulders to stop her.
"Which one of these fuckers has taken it?" she hissed, blood boiling through her body.
"Taken what, hermana?" Vaas asked, confused.
"My ring. Someone has taken my ring."
"WHAT? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?" Vaas screamed, bringing his gun from his new holster, "I'M GONNA KILL THE FUCKER!"
Phillipe touched Vaas on the arm and he turned.
"Boss, everyone was where I could see 'em. Nobody moved." he explained.
Vaas looked blankly at him and then back to Rosa.
"Hermana, are you sure you didn't take it off?"
"I'm not fucking stupid, Vaas. I don't take it off. And if Phil says that no one took it and I didn't take it off, then where the fuck is it?"
Raul cleared his throat before speaking up.
"I don't want to sound stupid but we didn't see her out hunting. Maybe ... maybe Snow took it?"
Everyone turned to face Raul and he grew embarrassed having all eyes on him.
"No, she can't have done. You're telling me she got into the compound and none of you fuckers saw her? She would have just killed me in my sleep. Vaas, you don't think ...?"
Vaas rubbed his beard and shrugged.
"The back entrance of our place, hermana. It seems like the only explanation really. I don't think any of these cocksuckers would take it, they don't have the balls. It's possible that she did."
Rosa shivered at the thought that Liza might have actually come into her room and taken it. That she had seen Rosa and not killed her. The girl had a motive in taking the ring.
She wanted Rosa to come to her.
"She must be watching us then, how else would she have know to come into the compound? That bitch, I'm going to slit her throat if I see her." Vaas fumed.
Rosa was just stunned into silence.
"I need a minute." she said before she walked past all of the gawping pirates and out of the compound.
Dangling her feet into the small rock pool, Rosa closed her eyes to block out everything around her. Ever since the Rakat had been destroyed along with Jason and Citra, she thought that everything would be good; that they could live out their days in bliss. But something always had to ruin it.
"Looking for something?"
Rosa grabbed her knife and jumped up.
There in front of her stood Liza.
She was totally transformed and nearly unrecognisable. Her hair was crazed and wild, messy around her shoulders. She wore a black vest top along with some black denim shorts and cargo boots to match. A jacket was tied around her waist and she had a gun along with a knife peeping out of her short pockets.
Her mouth was painted into an evil smile, her eyes insane. The jungle had gotten to her like Vaas had said, but in a different way.
She had given into the insanity.
On the end of her finger, she dangled Rosa's ring, mockingly.
"Liza." Rosa growled.
Liza laughed.
"Glad to see that you fuckers remember me. Rosa, isn't it?"
Rosa glared at her, her knife remaining poised. She could have lunged, killing Liza in that momenet but Rosa knew that she had her reasons for being there; her inquisitive side got the better of her. The girl had nerve turning up on Vaas' island and Rosa admired her, in a sick kind of way.
"What do you want?" Rosa hissed as Liza twirled the ring around on her finger.
"Now, now Rosa, mind that tone of voice. We wouldn't want you to lose this beautiful ring, would we? It's kind of cute actually, the whole love story between you and Vaas. Soulmates, I hear? It was the perfect scenario to sneak in and take the ring whilst you slept. I knew the temperamental female pirate would get angry and come out here to calm down. It's a good plan, is it not?"
"Shut the fuck up." Rosa growled, her blood boiling, "What the fuck do you want?"
"Watch your language. I wanted Jason back. I came to this island half expecting him to be here. But I was told that he had been killed by that crazy warrior bitch."
"How did you know that Jason was dead?" Rosa asked.
"A local went up to Doctor Earnhardt's mansion to take it as his own, seeing as the Doc hadn't been there for many months. Information on all of us that were hiding in his cave was found and the local managed to contact me. They told me that I needed to come out, to save their people. That was many months ago."
Liza sighed.
"My life was falling apart back home, so I eventually trained up and got on a one way flight here. I wanted to kill Citra but I was told of her untimely death. So, that meant that I had to come and kill you. Or better still, kill Vaas and rip his heart out like he did mine."
Rosa stood, stunned in silence before clearing her throat and speaking.
"Vaas didn't kill Jason." she stated.
Lisa scoffed.
"He did. He drove Jason insane. He killed my one true love, on the inside. Citra just finished the job."
"Just kill me then." Rosa said, "You're here, just do it. What are you waiting for?"
"Ah. Another on this island has been training me said that good things come to those who wait. So, I won't be killing you."
"More like you don't have the nerve." Rosa taunted, pushing Liza to see how far she could go.
"Oh, I have the nerve. It would seem, unceremoniously to kill you without a show, would it not? So, you'll shall wait to die. And when you do, it shall be redemption for Jason's death."
Rosa blinked at the unhinged woman before her and tried her best to process what was happening.
"What happened to you?" Rosa mumbled, putting her knife away.
"I gave into the insanity." she replied.
Rosa was silenced. It was like Liza could read her mind.
"ROSA! WHERE ARE YOU?" called Vaas.
Rosa turned her head back to the compound before back to Liza. But she wasn't there.
She was gone.
Rosa's ring lay lying in the sand and she rushed to pick it up. How could Liza have disappeared like that?
"I'm over here!" Rosa replied.
Vaas and Raul jogged over to her. When they reached her, Vaas immediately noticed that her ring was back on her finger.
"You found your ring?" Vaas asked, grabbing Rosa's hand to look at it.
"Yeah." Rosa replied, still a little shocked at what had happened.
Vaas picked up on her attitude and raised an eyebrow.
"What's up?" he asked.
Vaas he moved closer to Rosa and tucked some hair behind her ear.
"You're not worried about Snow are you?"
"Don't freak out, Vaas." Rosa started and as soon as she had said it, Vaas' breathing intensified.
"What?"
"She was just here. Talking to me. She gave me my ring back."
Rosa took a step back as if Vaas was about to blow. He was.
"MOTHER FUCKER! HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THAT BITCH! I'M GOING TO KILL HER. I'M GOING TO FUCKING TEAR HER FROM LIMB TO LIMB!"
"VAAS! Calm the fuck down, alright? Jesus, let me explain."
Rosa caught Vaas off guard and grabbed his face between her hands, forcing him to look at her.
"See? I'm okay, aren't I? Now, are you going to let me explain?" Vaas nodded between Rosa's hands. "Good."
"She said that some local went up to the Doc's house where loads of information on Jason's friends were. She said that they contacted her and told her to come out here, her life wasn't exactly peachy since she had gone home, so she said yes. She wants to kill us Vaas. She wants you to feel the pain that she felt knowing that Jason was dead."
"But I didn't kill that fucker. What's it got to do with me?" Vaas interrupted.
"Exactly my point. I asked her and she said that you killed him on the inside. Drove him to insanity, you know. Snow wants redemption for Jason's death."
Vaas took Rosa's hands in his and blinked a few times.
"Fuck." he breathed out.
Raul who was stood nearby, was stunned into silence too.
"What do we do?" Rosa asked.
Vaas stroked her cheek and closed his eyes.
"Vaas. What do we do?" Rosa asked again.
"There's only one thing do to. Wait for her to come to us. And when she does, we kill her. Then all of this will end."
